Section 374 Extreme arrogance
readx;
Sure enough, just as the old evil said in advance, he only relied on a few words to scare Carlos, who had just flaunted his might, into lying down on the spot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Such a strange result was something that everyone present did not expect, so much so that even the old mage, Kaz and the others suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
Seeing that his son had suffered such a big loss and might commit a big crime, Kaz was also a little worried for a while, and couldn't help but whisper to the old mage: "Teacher, your grandson is too cunning, isn't it?
"Alas!" the old mage couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I didn't expect this kid to be so cunning, but don't worry, Your Majesty still expects them to beat you to the death, and will definitely not punish Carlos severely at this time." ”
"Ah, that's fine!" said Kaz, who was a little relieved.
Sure enough, the old mage guessed it, although the emperor was very angry at Carlos's insult to his father, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still did not order Carlos to be arrested and punished on the spot, but frowned and said: "This Carlos is too much, do you think it should be punished like this?" Obviously, the purpose of his words was to give others a chance to intercede.
At this time, of course, it is inconvenient for Kaz to come forward, and the Stephen family is also difficult to express their position because of the duel, and the most suitable person to come forward is Hercules. But just when Hercules was about to intercede, Frank, the patriarch of the Augustus family, suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Carlos is just a momentary mistake, not deliberately insulting the emperor, and I ask Your Majesty's subordinates to be merciful and give him a chance to atone for his crimes." ”
Frank said and deliberately gave Kaz a look, apparently saying, 'Remember, I'm pleading for your son, you have to remember my favor!'
Kaz naturally understood what Frank meant, although he knew that even if Frank did not come forward, the emperor would not reprimand Carlos, but he was indifferent in terms of face, so he could only smile bitterly and nod slightly, thanking Frank.
After receiving Kaz's gratitude, Frank immediately smiled, in his opinion, since Carlos and the Stephen family are opposed, then no matter who wins or loses, the last two families will inevitably turn against each other. The enemy of his enemy is his friend, and of course he sees Kaz as his ally against the Stephens. Therefore, he hurriedly came out to intercede, the purpose of which was to win over the Wind Sword Saint Kaz.
And the emperor, who had no intention of punishing Carlos heavily, naturally came down the stairs after listening to Frank's words, and said softly: "Then according to you, how to punish Carlos appropriately?"
"Your Majesty, since Carlos has inadvertently caused disrespect to the Emperor, it is better to punish him for copying the Biography of Rio the Great ten times!" Frank said, bowing down.
"The Biography of Rio the Great" is a biography specially commissioned by the emperor to commemorate his father and at the same time flaunt the great achievements of the previous emperor. Because Riork the Great was indeed very popular and died heroically in the fight against the Burning Legion, many scholars at that time spontaneously took the initiative to participate in this matter, and wrote the details of the emperor's life clearly. The emperor was 102 years old when he died, and he had experienced many major events in his life, which made this biography very long, and it took more than 100 scholars more than 20 years to complete. Under normal circumstances, it would take a scribe months to make a copy. If you had to ask a soldier like Carlos to copy it ten times, hehe, it would never have been done in a few years. So this kind of punishment is not only fierce, but also saves him face, which can be described as appropriate.
The emperor was naturally very happy when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said, "Very good, Carlos, then I will punish you for copying the Biography of Rio the Great ten times, do you have any objections?"
When Carlos heard this, he fainted. You must know that as a proud disciple of the Perfect Sword Saint, he is definitely a qualified knight, and this knowledge is naturally indispensable. Of course he had heard of "The Biography of Rio the Great", and even read it, and he remembered clearly that even after reading it, it would have taken him nearly a month, if he had copied it ten times. Oh my God, I guess I can break his wrist. In addition, as a warrior, his surname is very active, and it is okay to ask him to fight, but if he is asked to copy books quietly, it is even more uncomfortable than killing him.
But after all, this is the emperor's punishment, how can he dare to say half a word? So no matter how depressed he is, he has to stubbornly agree: "Yes, the criminal obeys the order!"
"Very good!" the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Then you get up, I'm still waiting for your duel!"
"Yes!" Carlos said, and then angrily picked up his spear and jumped on his mount again. Then he glared at the old evil viciously, like that, he couldn't wait to bite to death the culprit who caused him to copy the book.
But the old evil didn't care, and teased contemptuously: "Carlos, it will be good for you to read more books in the future!
"Thanks for the reminder, I'll remember you!" Carlos said through gritted teeth.
Seeing the tension between the two, the emperor was extremely satisfied, and said casually: "Two, do you have any other requirements? If not, I will announce the beginning of the duel!"
The Emperor waited for a while, and when he saw that none of them had spoken, he smiled and said, "Very well, now, please go back to back, and then walk forward 50 steps each." ”
As soon as the Emperor's words fell, Carlos and the old evil began to walk back to back. Carlos walked fast, urging his mount and taking almost 50 steps at a trot, apparently eager to clean up the other man.
But when he walked to the place and looked back, the old evil was still walking unhurriedly. In just fifty paces, the old evil walked for two or three minutes, as if he was a staggering old man, moving forward slowly step by step.
Seeing the old evil like this, the audience who didn't know why thought he was afraid, so many people began to laugh at him. Only those who are familiar with the old evil feel that something is wrong, but no one sees what is wrong.
And at this moment, Kaz, who was also in the royal private room, was suddenly surprised to find that the old mage beside him had used his spiritual power to lock the old evil. Of course, the old mage's spiritual lock was very hidden, and if it weren't for the fact that Kaz was also a master of the Sanctuary Domain, and he was so close, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
But this caused Kaz to wonder. You must know that this kind of mental power lock is actually equivalent to a magic lock, once it is locked, the magician's magic can be overwhelmingly smashed over, ensuring that it cannot be dodged. Normally, this is done against hostile people, in order to speed up the attack.
And the person who is locked will be somewhat aware of it, and it is obvious that in this kung fu that is going on in a duel, the person who is locked by the external spiritual power will definitely be distracted. This is very unfair to little Stephen.
Kazgao didn't understand why the old mage did this, so he asked curiously, "Teacher, what are you doing here?"
"No way, I feel a little wrong, it seems that my kid wants to play yin!" The old mage smiled bitterly: "He didn't accept my advice yesterday, and insisted on beating your son half to death, I was afraid that something would happen, so I had to lock him first." Fortunately, he was able to stop him in time when there was an accident!"
"Huh?" Kaz was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "But, isn't this too unfair to him?"
"Don't worry, it's very unfair to fight your son with his strength, and if I press it, I'm also bringing their strength closer!" The old mage smiled: "Besides, this is my hand anyway, it has nothing to do with you, even if he loses, I will admit it!"
The old mage had said all this, what else could Kaz say? He could only smile wryly and shake his head, ending the conversation. Since the two of them were discussing with the secret method of transmission, no one around them heard these words, and they were all looking at the people on the field with full attention.
At this time, the old evil finally walked 50 steps, and then, he first slowly took out a luxurious chair from the space ring and put it on the ground, then sat on it with a big grin, and then took out a bottle of good wine from the space ring, bit the cap and took a sip. That cozy look doesn't look like a duel at all, but like an outing.
The people present were all stupid when they saw his behavior, and the emperor was also stunned, and then frowned: "Little Stephen, this is a duel, please sit down and prepare!
"I'm ready!" said the old demon with a shrug, "You can start at any time!"
"What?" the emperor's eyes widened suddenly, "You're duel with Carlos like this?"
"That's right!" the old evil sneered, "Sitting is enough to deal with such an idiot!"
Such arrogant and arrogant words made everyone present stunned, and then everyone was discussing, some said that he was arrogant, some said that he might win, in short, and so on.
But the emperor was obviously very dissatisfied with the appearance of the old evil, but as a referee, it was not easy for him to speak directly about the old evil, so he could only frown and say to the old master: "Teacher, is this one in your family too arrogant?"
